There was great excitement last evening al

A Friends Tribute.

NEW HAVEN, aug. IL.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The sudden death of Mr.. John Fl. Jones
brings back to me an occasion when his pure
and sympathetic tenor voice electrified an
assemblage of several thousand people in this
city and was used with wonderful effect. 1t
was during the dark days of the war in April,
1865, the fate of the nation hung trembling
in the balance and all northern hearts were
depressed. There was to be a flag raising
and the street and sidewalks were filed with
men who had gathered in the hope of hearing
words of encouragement from those who
were to address them.
Mr.. Jones and myself left the store at the
appointed hour, O'Clock p. M, and went to
the place. As the flag was slowly drawn into
position not cheer greeted it-all was dead
silence; and grasping the whole situation
and with intensest feeling in every note
Jones sang:
Yes, Well rally round the flag, boys,
Wen rally once again -
when hundreds of voices took up the song
and his voice was no longer to be distin-
guished. Touching my elbow we turned and
made our way out of the people and for two
blocks neither of us spoke a word, while
back of us now wild with excitement the
throng were shouting themselves hoarse with
the song. The following Sunday night came
the news of the fall of Richmond and the
long mental agony was ended.
Mr.. Jones, as the leader of the Republican
Glee club for a number of years (commenc-
ing in the days of the war; did reliable and
effective party service. b.

on the Baltimore and Ohio road, due here at
$40 this morning, was approaching this city
at high rate of speed, the engineer found
that the air brakes were not working proper

the momentum of the train, and it ran upon
what is known as the "Y'' near the depot at
the rate of forty miles an hour. The curve
was very sharp, and the express car jumped
the track and struck the signal tower. A

cept the sleeper were badly smashed. The
